Hello,
Thankfully it does not need to be in dot language. I have invested minimally
in it. I am also realizing that this parser is very complex. I dont need any
of the complexity graphviz offers. I think you are right though I need to
use my own parser or maybe looking into another format.

Thank You for your priceless advice!
